I've Got Something To Say

In my previous post "Autumn...My Favorite Season," I shared why Autumn/Fall is my favorite season. Now I want to share with you #31Ideas to turn your broke holiday or special occasion into a rich experience. In this series of #31 posts I will share one #idea per post. This will take us right up to Thanksgiving, or you can always make a purchase atMy Books and follow along in the fun.My goal is to stimulate creativity while making fond memories with your family, friends, and community. Creating more face time with one another while having fun memorable functions without breaking the bank. All it takes is a little planning and a little teamwork to create something priceless. So, here’s to a little more laughter, a little more togetherness, and a ton of great memories.****************************************************************************************************GIFTS #1 Create Personal Holiday / Greeting Cards

This is a fun and thoughtful activity. You can use your computer or make cards by hand using your unique crafting abilities. Don’t limit your imagination in creating something unique and thoughtful cards for those you care about and love. Every card you make by hand will be unique and one-of-a-kind. The memories created by this personalized gift will last longer than any gift you can buy. Ok, it won’t compete with that new car with a big red bow on top. If you could give THAT gift you wouldn’t be reading this post looking for fun and inexpensive ideas. (I’m just sayin’…)

Creating cards by hand you can use your hand drawn images, paper cut outs, personal photos, glitter, gems, confetti, buttons, broken jewelry, other organic materials, and crafting items you may have around the house. The sky is the limit as to how creative and extravagant your cards can become.

Add a little competition to this activity and hold a contest for the best card in a variety of categories! ( Best Design, Best Humor, Most Sentimental etc. You decide!) The winner has bragging rights for the year!
